Introductory Courses
| In addition to the basics of working with AQUAD, introductory courses provide the necessary basic knowledge of qualitative analysis strategies:: |
| Clarification of the overarching question of a project | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Preparation of the data material (texts, video or audio data, images) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Definition of AQUAD projects | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| qualitative coding (coding strategies / coding types / inserting, searching and replacing of codes / dealing with coding structures) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Writing memos and using them wisely |
| Optionally we offer: |
| Table analyses (in the tradition of Miles & Huberman) | |
| Analyses with the help of linkages as well as construction of sequence encodings | |
| Implicant analysis (in the tradition of Charles Ragin based on Boolean algebra) |
| Of course you can bring your own material and work on it. |
Advanced Courses
| In advanced courses we assume that you are familiar with AQUAD and bring your own projects and data with you. A course content then has the following topics and is especially suitable for advanced theses (MA, dissertation, habilitation) and research projects: |
| Concretization of overarching questions / sub-questions (optional: data collection procedures and selection of suitable data sources). | |||
| Analysis strategies and their realization with AQUAD | |||
| Evaluation of the status quo of the analysis (reflection of the sub/question(s); Existing data material in AQUAD and other data sources or analyses; Adjustment of the analysis strategy; further or pending data collection and/or further data analysis. | |||
| Formulating and testing hypotheses with AQUAD | |||
| Interpretation of (partial) results | |||
| Advanced analysis using implicant analysis (Boolean algebra) | |||
| Discussion of the results (consequences of the chosen survey- and analysis methods; Linking results back to the sub/question(s)). |
| Optionally we offer: |
| Presentation and writing up of the results. | |
| Emphasis on "Mixed Methods" (evaluation of meaning and purpose for a concrete question; identification of the necessary steps of analysis; integration of qualitative and quantitative perspectives) |
Special Courses
| We are happy to offer you special courses on request. Here we work intensively with you in advance to clarify the goal and purpose and to adapt the course structure and content to your issue(s). | |
| We also offer separate course content that includes, for example, the following topics (selection): |
| Encoding of audio and video data. | |
| Work with text video overlays, layout with Aegisub. | |
| Integration of AQUAD and R. |
| Please, contact us if you want any other focus. |
Coaching of Projects and Scientific Consulting
| Do you have a specific research question that you would like to address using qualitative or combined qualitative-quantitative research methods (because this is required by the research question)? Please contact us - we would be pleased to make you an offer for specific coaching. |
